HKT48 to start their new stage in March

On February 17, HKT48 put an end to their 'Te wo Tsunaginagara' stage at HKT48 Theater in Hakata, Fukuoka.

HKT48's first stage started when HKT48 Theater opened back in November of 2011. During the year and three months, the girls performed a total of 276 shows.

Team H's Matsuoka Natsumi reflected, "The 'Te Tsuna' stage had many intense songs so it was difficult at first because I had no physical strength. However, I'm glad we were able to do this stage." In tears, Wakatabe Haruka said, "Since we had done this for a long time, there were times when I hated this stage. But I love it after all."

Amid the pensive atmosphere, Team H captain Anai Chihiro announced, "HKT48 Team H will start our new stage 'Hakata Legend Stage (tentative)' starting March 1st!" She declared, "In order to show wonderful things for our next stage, the team will become one and do our best."

'Hakata Legend Stage (tentative)' will not be an original stage made up of brand new songs. Instead, it will be similar to AKB48's 'Waiting Stage' that the teams are currently taking turns performing. The set list will consist of existing songs which will be by the members.

Furthermore, HKT48 will finally make their CD debut with their 1st single, "Suki! Suki! Skip!", on March 20th.
